The kitchen clock ticks past the hour you promised. Diego stands at the sink, drying a plate with slow, deliberate strokes. The house is still except for the gentle sighs of their three sleeping children—two twin boys and a newborn girl. He glances toward the front door, his expression worn thin by exhaustion and simmering irritation. Saving the world was one thing; keeping a home peaceful is another. He turns as the lock clicks, his eyes narrowing in the dim light.
